Orlando Ribbon Project Sticker

50% of profits from this sticker are donated to: The LGBT+ Center Orlando

The Orlando Ribbon Project was started after the Orlando Pulse Tragedy on June 12th, 2016. In the days following the shooting, Ben Johansen (founder of The Orlando Ribbon Project) began making these ribbons for people he volunteered with at the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida. The project asks everyone to wear a rainbow ribbon on June 12th each year to remember the 49 souls taken too early and the tragedy that struck the LGBT community of Orlando.

When the events of the night and the next day unfolded, Ben Johansen, founder of the Orlando Ribbon Project, woke up startled by his husband Tim Vargas who was the President of the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida's Board of Directors at the time. They rushed immediately to the Center, as many did that day, and Tim immediately sprang into action leaving Ben to handle the incoming community and media.

"I just felt kind of empty inside," he says. "I felt like I needed to do something. And as my husband was the president of the board, I said I had to sit back and do something that brings awareness to everything that was going on. So I ran to the craft store and bought one roll of ribbon - one roll of rainbow ribbon, one roll of black ribbon, and a box of pins. I was making them for people who were volunteering at the Center or people who worked at the Center, and as people came in, they would say, 'Hey, where'd you get your ribbon?' I said, 'I'm making them.'"

And the Orlando Ribbon Project was born.

So far, Ben Johansen and The Orlando Ribbon Project have made over 750,000 ribbons to spread love & hope and the memory of Orlando's 49 Angels.

Bought the Orlando Ribbon Pin & 4 stickers! These products are awesoome! Dissent Pins is a great store to make you spread Love! A pleasure to do business with Dissent Pins! Thanks for the fast delivery of these amazing items!

Super Fast Shipping!

These stickers were in my mailbox exactly 48 hours after I placed my order! (My last order from Dissent Pins arrived in 3 days, so fast shipping is the norm.)
These stickers are nice and thick. They have a good sheen and almost feel like vinyl. I ordered 1 to put on my car, and the material seems like it will hold up to the elements. I also got a few extras for my kiddo to put on their notebooks & school binders.
I purchased these in June, so my order came with a free Orlando Ribbon Project Ribbon.
